I'm flying south for the winter with my better-half for an extended period, so I thought I'd make it known here - Rod would have wanted it that way :-)
The first stop on the journey will be Thailand. Although it's not my first time there, we will thankfully have an insider to give us pointers.
Some time later we will end up in Perth, my parent's home town and be in Sydney for New Year's. The time inbetween we'll be somewhere so isolated that I'll have to rock myself to sleep with thoughts of the 32Mbit internet connection I'm currently using.
Now that I'm escaping the cold, I sorry to have to admit how beautiful a time of year Autumn is in Europe.... so ..er, take a stroll in your closest deciduously-treed park or forest if time permits. And if you're Bingley, stales, or Paul then ignore that advice.

All the best,


Chris
